Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider forward (LHCf) experiment measures forward neutral particles to improve hadronic interaction models adopted in cosmic-ray air shower simulations. In September 2022, we plan to perform data-taking on proton–proton collisions. We expect statistics that are a factor of 10 greater than those of the previous operation in 2015 for 𝜋0 and 𝜂 mesons. Moreover, we plan to conduct a joint operation with the ATLAS zero-degree calorimeter. Improvements in energy resolution for hadrons from this joint operation will allow us to select the one-pion exchange process. In this work, we report the prospects for the LHCf operation in 2022.
